To coincide with National Arts and Humanities Month 2007, the Foundation Center is focusing on arts funding throughout October at its library/learning centers in New York, Atlanta, Cleveland, and San Francisco. This symbol on each library’s calendar signifies a program dedicated to arts funding. Among the noteworthy events planned are a panel on attracting celebrities to your cause in New York, an arts resource fair in Atlanta, a series of “Coffee and Conversations” with grantmakers in Cleveland, and a “Reality Grantmaking” program in San Francisco. In addition, Philanthropy News Digest will publish special arts-related features, including an interview with Ruby Lerner, the president of Creative Capital. So check PND and the calendar for the library nearest you for offerings throughout October.”
